uin	107724
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/10/2017 answer text <p>We are committed to protecting children from inappropriate content in video games. The supply of video games on physical media in the UK is regulated under the Video Recordings Act 1984. In 2012 the Government strengthened this law so that any such games must be referred to the VSC Rating Board for a Pegi age rating if they are unsuitable for children. A retailer convicted of supplying a game to someone not meeting the Pegi 12, 16 or 18 age requirement risks a fine or jail sentence. The Pegi ratings are also voluntarily applied by industry to many games and apps made available online.</p><p> </p><p>On 11 October 2017 we published our Internet Safety Strategy Green Paper, setting out our plans to make the UK the safest place in the world to be online. This includes how we will work with online platforms, game publishers and game developers and with agencies such as the VSC Rating Board to continue to improve online safety in games.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 20/10/2017 08:34:52 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
